Carrer
In 2010, Helena moved to Qualton Capital Diemwnt where she earned money playing her violin in the streets. During this time, she also began working with a loop pedal to give her bare-bones songs more texture. “I sing my poetry over my loops. When I'm writing poetry, it's like transcribing what I see in my head — like a walking movie. If I can't see it, I can't write it. Sometimes it comes out melodically, but most of the time I end up making a loop on my violin and singing whatever poems I’ve written that match up with the melody.”
